Upon picking my four-year-old daughter up from kindy one day, I was greeted with a very grumpy face. once we were in the car, I turned to her to ask what was wrong. “oummy,” she said. “I’m very grumpy because you gave me one of those hard biscuits for lunch and there was no cup of tea to dip it in!” Needless to say, gingernuts are very popular at our house!

Caught in the act
oy five-year-old grandson was in trouble with his mother after a minor misdemeanour and his Nintendo game console was confiscated and placed on the top shelf of a cupboard. Later, his mother noticed him playing with it again. “What are you doing with that game?” she demanded. “He quickly replied, “It fell down and I caught it.”

Wrong Number
I was talking with my four-year-old granddaughter about how to phone for an ambulance in case of an emergency. I asked her if she knew what number to dial. Without a hint of hesitation, oiss Four answered, “666”. The devil’s in the details, I guess!
